Re: Nirvana Massage and Spa Renewal Application
Mr. Zorn:
This letter is to address portions in your Therapeutic Massage License renewal
application of October 6, 2015. Pursuant to City Ordinance § 114.15(A), the city issues
renewals in a form designated by the issuing authority. The full language of the
applicable section is as follows:
Applications for the renewal of an existing license shall be made at least 30 days
prior to the date of the expiration of the license and shalt be made in such form
as the issuing authority requires. If, in the judgment of the issuing authority,
good and sufficient cause is shown by an application for the applicant's failure to
submit a renewal application before the expiration of the existing license, the
issuing authority may, if the other provisions of this chapter are complied with,
grant the renewal application.
The form designated by the City is the Massage License Renewal Form, which you filled
out and returned to the City on October 6, 2015.
First, your renewal application was made less than 30 days prior to the date of the
expiration of your license, which is October 31, 2015. No explanation was given as to
why it came late. However, second and more importantly, you answered "yes" to
question 2 on the renewal form, which asks "[w]as any employee, owner or officer of the
business ... charged with a violation of state of local laws regulating the practice of
massage, or of any law prohibiting criminal sexual conduct, prostitution, pandering,
indecent conduct, or keeping of a disorderly house." The form, as you are aware,
indicates as follows:

This form may be used in place of a full Massage Therapy License Application, for
the renewal of a previously issued massage license, ONLY if you are able to
answer "No" to all of the following questions. These questions apply to the
previous licensing period. If vou answer "Yes" to any of the following Questions,
a full massage license application must be completed.
As a result of the "yes" answer, and as designated on the form, you are required to fill
out a full massage license application, and cannot use the Massage License Renewal
Form.
In the interim, and to the extent you wish to operate Nirvana Massage and Spa at some
point in the future, please first complete a full license application pursuant to City
Ordinances §§ 114.11 and 114.07, which will be submitted to the City Council after
review and investigation by the issuing authority, pursuant to City Ordinance § 114.13.
Finally, it is my understanding that you have attempted to discuss with the City Clerk
matters relating to your lawyer. Please direct further communications to our office.
Sincerely,
JOHNS° RNER LEGAL
